My question still remains. Even if the gene isn't altered, but the expression is, which I assume is the important part in determining outward influence the gene has, I wasn't aware anything short of radiation could alter that. If stress can change you at the gene level, or metal state in general, wouldn't we all be able to "fix ourselves" or otherwise change our gene expressions by submitting ourselves to various metal states to invoke the wanted gene response?
TL;DR, I wasn't aware anything regarding genes could change, that's all, and I'm more curious why I keep discovering so many large gaps in things I personally considered life long, common knowledge. My question was almost rhetorical for myself.
